Description: This paperback and plush set is adorable! It is in excellent condition! I used the book, in my kindergarten classroom, during the month of February, and had the plush displayed on a shelf. It was never handled by my students. My kindergarten children absolutely loved the book! This set is clean and comes from a smoke free home. The book measures 6.25" x 8". The author is Susan Korman, and the illustrator is Eugenie Fernandes. The copyright is 1997, and the publisher is Golden Books. This paperback is a Special Edition! The following is a synopsis of the plot of the story.: Anxious to know if spring will soon be sprung, the friends of Gregory Groundhog keep dropping by his home, one by one, to rouse him, from his cozy burrow, on Groundhog Day. But, he just wants to go back to sleep. When he finally leaves his burrow, he sees his shadow, which means that Winter will last 6 more weeks. Hearing that news, all his friends want to go home and take naps. Gregory then wakes THEM up! This is a cute, funny, and adorable story packed in a small picture book, accompanied by colorful illustrations, that are full of detail, with lots to see. Children will love the funny, surprise ending in this book! The hedgehog plush measures 7" tall. It is Steiff brand and was made in Germany. Through my research, I found out that this item was made in the 1980's and is now discontinued. This hedgehog has a mottled brown body that is made out of woven fur. The face is a beige color with darker shading around the eyes. The neck, stomach, arms, and bottom are a lighter brown, while the fur, on the top of the head, down the back, and on the sides is dark brown. This little guy has black plastic eyes, a black stuffed nose, and folded over ears made out of a light brown, suede-like material. He has dark brown whisker markings, on his snout, and a dark brown mouth. His dark brown hands and feet appear to be made out of a heavy felt and are jaggedly cut, so it looks like he has 4 claws on each paw. Though the swing tag is no longer attached to the stomach, this plush has a yellow Steiff tag and metal "button" on one ear. The number, on the tag, is 1677/15. This set would make a wonderful addition to a Steiff enthusiast's collection, especially if he/she has young children! I am hoping to find this pairing a good home.
